Opera "Rigoletto" at the Bolshoi Theatre

Giuseppe Verdi's opera based on Victor Hugo's drama "The King Amuses Himself" directed by the renowned Italian director Giancarlo Del Monaco. "Rigoletto" is considered the most psychologically profound opera of its time. Giuseppe Verdi and his librettist Francesco Piave departed from the canons of romantic opera, removing the division of characters into "good" and "evil," and in the finale, they rejected a clear moral assessment. The main character is a comic figure, whose inner world the composer reveals in detail. Verdi's music conveys the contradictory essence of the opera's characters and the ruthlessness of fate, which cannot be deceived. On the stage of the Bolshoi Theatre, the performance was directed by Giancarlo Del Monaco, who has staged over 100 operas worldwide. The schedule of performances in Moscow is available on KUDAGO.
